And finally… motiveless crime

A driverless car appears to stop for police then attempt to flee in a viral video released by San Francisco police.

The autonomous Chevrolet Bolt EV was stopped as its headlights were off. An officer can be heard saying “there’s nobody in it”.

However, after the officer walks away, the car begins driving off. Self-driving car service Cruise, the owner, said the car was not trying to escape from police and that it had pulled over to a safe spot when it was stopped.

The car did not receive a ticket.
